Remote care with structured, values-based methods
Dr. Daphney Rene integrates several evidence-informed approaches into online work, emphasizing collaboration and practical skill building. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people clarify what matters most to them and choose actions that align with those values, even when strong emotions are present. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy is used to identify and adjust unhelpful thinking patterns and to establish concrete behavioral steps that reduce distress. Dialectical Behavior Therapy contributes skills for emotion regulation and interpersonal effectiveness, useful when anger or intense mood states interfere with daily life.In a remote setting Dr. Rene maintains a client-centered stance, inviting input about pacing, goals, and which tools feel most relevant. Sessions can focus on short-term problem solving, development of long-term coping plans, or a combination guided by the person’s needs and preferences. Available communication options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, allowing people to choose the format that fits their circumstances and comfort level.
Through these platforms she works collaboratively to set clear steps between meetings, practice skills, and adjust plans as progress and priorities evolve.
